What deserves our attention is that his father used to work in Zhejiang Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and he was also a colleague with Ma Yun's father. Presumably, his father's connections are still very wide, which has become one of the important conditions for Zhong Shanshan to start a business. It is because of this family background that Zhong Shanshan can achieve his career. Strictly speaking, he is not a self-made rich man.

Zhong Shanshan (Sh ǐ n), Han nationality, 1954, a native of Zhuji, Zhejiang, is an entrepreneur. He is currently the chairman and general manager of Nongfu Spring Co., Ltd. and the chairman of Yangshengtang Co., Ltd.
